Aston Villa reportedly want to sign Jordan Hugill from West Ham United in the summer transfer window.
The British tabloid has reported that Villa manager Steve Bruce has approached West Ham regarding a loan move for Hugill.
The 26-year-old forward has struggled to make an impact at West Ham since his move from Preston North End in the January transfer window for a fee reported by Football.London to be worth £10 million.
The forward could played just 22 minutes of Premier League football for the Hammers following his loan move in January, according to WhoScored.
Hugill is proven at the Championship level and has shown what he can do in the division.
The 26-year-old scored 12 goals and provided two assists in 35 Championship starts for Preston during the 2016-17 campaign, and found the net eight times in 26 league starts for them in the first half of last season, according to WhoScored.
It is clear that the former Preston star will struggle to play regularly for the Hammers next season, and a loan move to a Villa side who will be aiming to challenge for the Championship playoffs this season would suit him.
